SHOWCASING LOWEST CARBON INDUSTRIAL TIMBER BUILDINGS, THAT ARE NOW COST-EQUIVALENT WITH STEEL - COME FIND OUT HOW.

Red Stag Industrial is opening its doors to showcase a range of advanced timber industrial structures. This guided site visit is a chance to gain insight and see first-hand how timber can deliver cost-effective, large-span solutions for industrial applications.

The buildings that will be showcased are:

• New mobile plant building - Utilising CLT portals and bracing

• Sawmill trimline and stackers - showcasing mass timber across an existing production line.

• RST Reman building - the first large span industrial building on site

• Shed 3 - new 65-metre clearspan warehouse constructed with CLT and GLT

Red Stag will also present its latest innovation in large-span warehousing, which delivers cost advantages over traditional steel construction while offering the benefits of lighter foundations, accelerated project timelines, and reduced carbon emissions.

You do not have to attend the WoodWorks conference to attend the Red Stag site visit - all industry professionals are welcome. 

Spaces are limited - register early and secure your place.

Mid-Rise Wood Construction and WoodWorks join forces

Last year, the WoodWorks Conference attracted over 200 leaders in engineered timber design and construction, with another brilliant line up expected on 4 & 5 this November.

With a shared focus to help facilitate the increase in capability and use of timber throughout New Zealand, WoodWorks & MRWC have partnered to add an additional site visit to the programme, on the final day. 

Attendees will now have the option to choose between these projects:

1. 3-storey library and community hub – the first building to be constructed as part of Te Manawataki o Te Papa, currently under construction on Willow Street in the heart of Tauranga.

2. Red Stag Industrial - a visit to the Southern Hemisphere's largest sawmill, and the leading producer of timber industrial buildings. 

If you haven’t already, register for the WoodWorks Conference 2025 here.

INSIDE THE SEMINAR

Join us as we explore the benefits of different timber products as structural materials across a wide range of buildings, while also addressing the unique challenges that come from working with this natural material.

We'll walk through the full design and build process - from project initiation to construction - with experts covering architecture, structure, fire, acoustics, moisture, compliance, and cost at each stage.

This full day event aims to leave attendees inspired to choose wood as the material of choice for their next project - with a clear understanding of its pros and cons, and the confidence knowing where to find expert support to help you successfully navigate your next timber project.
